Experiencing Interruptions?

One Day

Cristian, a young man from a marginal neighborhood of Bogotá, earns his living by singing rap on the city bus. He dreams of traveling to Ecuador to take part in a music contest and leave everything behind. One day, his routine is disrupted by the unexpected presence of his little sister who followed him in secret. And the violence around him puts his dream of a better life to a hard test.

Director Statement

"Un Día" is the story of a young rapper and his sister, who must learn to survive in a world where there is little chance of redemption. They are young dreamers, singular characters who walk on the streets of Bogotá, an often violent, overpopulated and indifferent town. More losers than winners, they try to defend their plans and illusions, with the only hope that the future will be different.

I wrote the story working with the people of La Perseverancia, a historic neighborhood in downtown Bogotá stigmatized by its poverty and crime rate. I had the support of the rap band KBN, led by Diego Ochoa, who fights the lack of opportunities for young people through art and music workshops .

"Un Día" is a short film shot in a realistic style, with a soundtrack that expresses all the vitality and hardness of the street, where those who are looking for a way out have to face the overwhelming odds against them.
